You know what IS evil?
Dissobedience. it is Rebelion, and that is like the sin of Withcraft.
if you dont obey God, you dont love God. No matter what you say.
So if it is stated repeadedly in the scriptures to be seperate from the world. and NOT to have anythign with idolatry., or really anythig nin the world at all. then why do we still do it? Why do we act as the WORLD?
Thor, was originaly Tiras a.ka. Tursha (Hebrew) a.k.a. Turk (Turkish) a.k.a. Teresh (Egyptian) a.k.a. Tulqarem (Arabic) a.k.a. Tilgarimmu (Assyrian).
i.e. he was the Tiras, the youngest son of Japhet (Yafeth) son of Noah (Nuh). Tiras, they also believe, was the eponymous ancestor of the Thracians.
Genesis 10:2
"The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and T(h)iras."
Thiras, as Josephus (u) observes, the Greeks call Thracians; and in Thrace was a river called Atyras (w), which has in it a trace of this man's name; and Odrysus, whom the Thracians worshipped, is the same with Tiras, which god sometimes goes by the name of Thuras; and is one of the names of Mars, the god of the Thracians.
(reference if your interested---> Genesis 10 Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible )
So, as "Sweet and innocent" as it seems. it is Evil. Why? becasue its is PAGAN this whole world is NOT from GOd. so why are we continuosly a part of it?
Thor should not be a part of A christians life. actualy nither should movies, becasue as innocent as they seem, its al indoctrination to accept ALL things. You allready do. You accept the World, justify it, adn then ignore Jesus.
Live for JESUS, obey JESUS deny self, Die to this world, and SEEK HIM. Seek TO LOVE/OBEY HIM and be rightoeus.
So...Short answer. Yes Thor is evil. And the same Babylonian pagan Gods, are now STILL worshiped through movies, they are made to look COOL.
But its still evil. Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
If we TRULY start putting JESUS first, like he should be...HE will show you what is Evil, and WHY it is evil. Or you can just sit around waiting for the end of the WORLD doing what you please, and see what Jesus says to you in the End.
Its up to YOU if YOU want to live for HIM, but he MUST be LORD. it is HIS words that will judge you in the last day. HIS words are waht shows our love of GOD. HE is the WORD of GOD. Jesus bless you.

1. Thor is not evil, in fact, he's the exact opposite. Thor is the protector of mankind and Asgard, and god of thunder, lightning, and strength. If anyone is evil, it's the one you call "God". If what your bible says is true, he killed more than half of the worlds population, justifying the deed as divine and righteous punishment.
2. Pagans are not evil either, and furthermore, I don't ever recall pagans threatening people with eternal torture if they don't believe in their gods.
3. Thor is not a character from your little best seller, his existence pre dates Abrahamic religion by thousands of years. He is Thor, god of thunder and protector of Midgard.
4. Jesus has never done anything for me, but Thor consistently protects and watches over me, and all of mankind as well. What exactly has your "savior" done lately? I mean besides ignoring all of mankind's suffering?
5. Bottom line, none of the Norse gods are evil, not even the trickster Loki, he merely does his job very well.
P.S. No, I am not a troll, I really am a proud heathen. I'm sorry for reviving this long dead thread, but your comments greatly insulted my beliefs.

Well, it's also a shame that your so uneducated, because ragnorok hasn't even happened yet. If it had, we wouldn't be here would we?
Also, no. The "god" you speak of, is a self loving, arrogant, jealous, cruel being, who believes himself to be above everyone else in existence. But tell me, if he's so powerful, then why not kill Thor and the rest of the Norse gods, and take out the competition? Oh wait! That's right, I forgot! He only kills innocent people, children, and people who don't follow his little cult.
oh, and if your trying to make a jab at Thor with the bid about sacrifices, don't bother. If I recall, isn't there a story in the bible, where someone sacrifices their first born child to god? Also, let's not forget Christianity's justification of racism and being sexist.

Lol, you do not even know your own pagan mythos very well I see. Typical of the young today whom stray.
Why would The God need to kill Thor when Thor is just a dead idol to begin with? Though if you really want to go into it, it seems that mere mortals destroyed Thor and Odin in 1400s. What a shameful idol Thor is, slain by human hands.
The God is of course above everything in existence seeing as he is the Creator of everything in existence.
You say Abraham sacrificed his first born son, not only do you not know your own norse paganism very well, but clearly you haven't even read all of Genesis, much less the rest of the compilation of books from the Bible that forbid human sacrifice. You see human sacrifice was a practice of the old pagans, such as the worshippers of Thor, an open display that their idols are no more than abominations.
Yet here is the real test between The God and the abomination of thunder Thor:
What promise hath Thor besides being an honorless crossdresser and swinging his little hammer only to be all ready killed before he existed?
What promise hath The LORD? He promises to raise up all humanity and save them for all time forever.
So it is clear whom is the True God.

So it is clear whom is the True God.
1. I know the legends very well, my sad, ignorant little friend. Because, if you knew anything at all, you would know that Thor, nor Odin, nor any of the gods are dead. And no, they weren't killed by worshippers, my poor, senile friend, they are very much alive and well.
2. A god is supposed to protect and help his worshippers, not bribe them with promises of eternal life and threaten them with torture. Thor may be mortal, but so is your lying god. He may claim to be all powerful, but if he's so all powerful, why not just make all of the pagan gods never exist at all? Could it be because he's too busy? Or that he can't do it? Hmm...tough choice, but I'm gonna have to go with the latter here...
3. Abomination? Ha! A formless monster who rapes a virgin and is his own son? Now THAT'S an abomination! He does nothing but threaten, demand, decree, and kill. He's a tyrant, nothing more. And his son is a charlatan who ripped off of Balder's exploits and appearance to make himself seem "pure". Quite pathetic actually...
4. Honorless? What's more honorable than giving your own life to save the universe? What has god done to show honor? Slay children? Betray family? Maybe give Satan permission to torture someone? And you call Thor honorless! I'd say he's more pathetic and pitiful than anything...

1. If ye knew the legends very well how be it you serve a crossdresser that never lived?
2. Aye, the God does protect His worshippers for they shall live forever. What need is there to unmake the existence of that which does not exist?
3. A formless monster you say? Know ye not that man was made in the image of God whom formed Himself in the flesh of the womb of the virgin as all the true prophets of time predicted? Which is of course much more than we can say for Thor's prophets whom cut themselves and sacrificed their own children to trees and rocks in vain.
4. Indeed honorless is the abomination of thunder Thor for by your own legends, not mine, he is a crossdressing knave married to a male giant. Not only that but Thor died in vain only for the Universe to be destroyed by Surtur in the minds of the druids that knew their abomination best.
Indeed what greater honor is it to lay your life down to save the Universe? This is what The True God and His Word has done for you that ye might have life if you choose so and the honor is His alone.
Now I say to you let us put Thor to the test.
If Thor be a god, let Mjolnir fall on my head.
If the LORD be God, let His promise of forgiveness fall on my head.

1. Tis true, my dull friend, that Thor dressed on a woman's wedding dress, but he did so, only to trick the giant who stole his hammer, into letting him get close enough to get it back. They never finished the marriage. And yes, he DOES exist.
2. He does in fact exist. I speak to him often through prayer, just like you do with your god.
3. Yes, I would count that as a monster. And Thor's worshippers were very widespread and varied widely on what they offered, and how they did it. Thor doesn't ask his followers to feed him children, he would much prefer a plate of smoked pork, and a pint of mead!
4. Tsk, tsk, my friend, you seem to have forgotten that Thor in fact does save the universe. Due to the help and sacrifice of many of the gods, two humans survive ragnorok, and repopulate Midgard.
Oh, and that was just an adorable little prayer ya did there! Too bad Thor isn't a monster like your god, if he was, he surely would have been cruel enough to try and kill you. Thor wouldn't drop the sacred hammer on your little head, don't you worry, he only uses it on giants and actual threats, not sheep.

1. So Thor cannot even get back his hammer unless by degrading his honor. Indeed, Thor is all the more worthless by your own words that he cannot even do anything without his little hammer. How ironic, the powerless idol depends on another idol.
2. Thor does not exist, he is a dead and was never alive to begin with.
3. If Thor did not ask his followers to feed him the blood of their children, why then did Thor's prophets slay their children for Thor in the forest? Even the hellenistic and roman pagans confirm this.
4. Heh, and you forgot by your own mythos that it was Odin whom hid the humans. Thor merely died in vanity killed by a serpent, though one might wonder if it was the serpent that beguiled the pagans into worshipping trees and rocks in the first place.
Lol and this is no prayer.
If Thor be a god, let mjolnir fall on my head. If mjolnir falls not on my head Thor is not a god, but proves himself to be an unliving idol.
If the LORD is God let his Word of forgiveness fall on my head. For the LORD proves Himself by His Word.

1. Yes, it is true, Thor had to actually resort to trickery to get his hammer back, but he's far from useless without it. He has the strength to lift the world serpent, the speed to catch the slippery Loki, the wit to match the wise dwarf Allwise, and the courage to fight for what he believes in, which is more than I can say for your god, the gutless coward, who sends his own children to fight his battles instead of fighting them himself. All powerful god indeed...
2. Was, and IS. In fact, I just consulted with him and the other gods this morning. Why should my prayers not be as true as yours? Are really so blind as to ignore the existence of other deities and religious beliefs, just because they don't do what your god demands? How prejudice...
3. Because people have free will, but I guess you wouldn't know about that, you know, being a Christian sheep and whatnot.
4. Again, very true. Twas the Allfather that hid the humans, but if Thor and all of the other gods hadn't succeeded and killed the frost giants, and other forces of ragnorok, then the humans would've no doubt been eventually found and killed.
Still, it's so amusing! It's almost as if you actually believe the lies your god has told you...oh, never mind...

1. Heh indeed you prove Thor has no strength without his hammer and must resort to wearing Freya's garments like a standard cur to get it back. Thou says Thor had the strength to lift the world serpent, yet the world serpent carried Thor down to the nethers. Thou say Thor outwitted a dwarf and indeed much outwitted are those of little mind. Thou says Thor fights for what he believes in, and thou have show in just this point what Thor believes in; dishonor, weakness, lies, and death. A weak and feeble idol he is indeed.
2. Lol, thou say you consulted with Thor. I have consulted with him right here before your eyes. Where be his hammer upon my head? If Thor lives let his hammer fall. If Thor does not live, his hammer does not exist. If Thor and his hammer do not exist, Thor is not a deity. If thou even knew what a deity was you would know there can be only One.
3. Aye The God made man with freewill. And many men have chosen to follow the LORD and not to follow the LORD. Did the prophets of Thor follow Thor or did they not? If they did Thor drinks the blood of their children. If they did not Thor never had any prophets and is not real.
4. Lol, so you all ready prove I know more about your own Norse mythos than you do. This is good indeed. However thou should know Odin led himself and his followers into the jaws of the ravening wolf because he too is a no-god. However, The God, who is the Father of All created mankind in his image and though mankind chose to die, the God's Word is the promise of Salvation. And so it is that mankind shall never die thanks to the LORD.
Amusing indeed. You assume I have always followed The God. Yet to my shame this was not always the case. How thinkest thou that I know more about your dead idols than ye?
With every passing post Thor proves himself to be a dead idol. I defy your idol once again and prove myself more powerful than he, and my LORD more powerful than me.
If Thor be a god let Mjolnir fall upon my head.
If the LORD be God let his Word of forgiveness fall upon my head.
And now I am off to bed for the LORD hath opened for me a door tomorrow that I may seek His forgiveness and the forgiveness of one of my brethren whom I wronged years in my past when I was around your age. So I shall see personally tomorrow the powerlessness of the word of Thor and the almighty power of the LORD's Word. Despair not that your lifeless Thor is a no-god. For the real God offers unto ye also His Word of forgiveness and salvation and is patient and long-suffering towards you.
